Educator, Researcher, and Artist

 

My name guides me to be a creative educator, researcher, and traveler. Ye means 'art' and Jun means 'high.' So I introduce the meaning of my name as 'an artist going on a high note.' It does not necessarily mean that I perform well but it is more about I enjoy what I am doing.

I have been a science teacher for about 12 years in South Korea (including one year in the United States). Creativity is my energy to design the generative science curriculum that I often got an idea from children's books, fine arts, and movies for classroom activities. Oh, of course, from travel as well.

Currently, I am supporting pre-service teachers as a faculty member. It is always my pleasure to see how pre-service teachers grow their competencies through practice-based learning. My courses are growing not only their knowledge and skills but also their attitudes towards inclusion and justice in education. I believe this is the way to create a generative and inclusive classroom in which students' voices, home culture, and home language are valued, and further, students develop scientific literacy with a culturally respectful mind.

Iowa City Jazz Festival 2019

    One of my favorite summer events in Iowa City, Jazz Festival. This year, me and my buddy had a project, walking every night for an hour. During Jazz Festival, our destination was the Pentacrest where we can chill out with amazing live music and jazzy excitement.  And we got a bonus present, fireworks! The second day of Jazz Festival, we came to the Pentacrest again and had another amazing concert night.
